David Allen is the man behind „Getting Things Done“. The book sold millions of copies because it was one of the very first books that had a whole productivity system behind it. One that people could actually follow. Take this interview as an introduction to the GTD method. And if you like it, get the book afterwards and stuff finally done.

Ray Dalio is a multi-billionaire hedge-fund manager. And he wrote a book about principles. Having principles was his key to success in the financial world AND to living a fulfilled life.

This video is a compilation of 10 talks that Simon Sinek gave over the years. There’s great advice in here with regard to decision-making, mindset and motivation. If you don’t know Simon Sinek at all, you’ll want to watch this. It also includes his full famous TED – talk on “Start With Why”.

This is a real gem: 30 minutes of animated video later, you will understand economics better than 80% of people. I have a master degree in economics and yet learned something from it. Especially in the later part. But don’t be scared if you don’t have a clue about economics. The video starts with the very basics and eases you into the big picture. Must watch!

A.J. Jacobs does weird-sounding life-experiments and writes funny books about his experiences. Like living in literal accordance with the bible for 1 year. He has a lot of good stories to tell.
